For anyone over 40, what advice do you have for the 20-somethings to save them trial and error? (bodybuilding related and not)

I'm almost 44. Best advice I can give is consistency. I've had my best gains when I've strung a few solid months of training together. You stop for whatever reason, and you have to start all over again to some degree. Don't stop pushing yourself and stay consistent in your training.

As a nearly 70 year old, I agree with you on the consistency theory. I don't agree that when you take time off, you go back to grown zero though. It has been my experience that I quickly regained anything I lost during "vacations" from lifting. At some point you have to rethink what it means to push yourself. There is only so much weight one can lift and only so many reps one can do.

Don't get married.

You'll end up getting divorced and giving her half.

Stay single.

Live below your means and begin stashing money away at a young age. Forget about what other people do and stick to your plan because if you keep up with the Joneses you'll wind up broke or over leveraged like them. Learn about investing and never stop studying it.

Not 40 yet, but my lesson: don't waste your first 35 years getting as fat as a whale, getting that excess fat off again is hard!

And another: let your hobby/sport be your hobby. If you turn it into work, and see it as a chore, you no longer have a hobby.

Never feel the need to hide your roids from your spouse.*

*unless you live in a fascist state where you your family and your dogs could be murdered by a SWAT team looking for your personal stash. In that case just don't do drugs.

money advice?

being married/ kids etc is expensive

you have to take calculated risks to make real money

you have to accept some failures to have overall successes

you have to find something you like and are good at and do it better then the others doing it.
